A celebratory ribbon-cutting event marked the recent addition of Physical Therapy (PT) services at NorthLakes Community Clinic, with Physical Therapists now providing care at their Poplar, Iron River, Solon Springs, and Washburn Clinics.

After acquiring Orthopedic & Spine Therapy’s northern offices in January, NorthLakes has been able to offer PT to patients across rural Wisconsin, regardless of their ability to pay. Another milestone to highlight NorthLakes’ commitment to providing accessible healthcare to all!

The Rock River Community Clinic (Whitewater, WI) team participated in a full-day staff meeting that included emergency action training, a session on understanding immigration and paths to citizenship, team goal setting, and much more. The training included a session led by Jorge Islas Martinez, Melania Argueta Borchert, and Rosalinda Martinez on Barriers for Migrant Families, Asylum Seekers, and Immigrant Families.

Congratulations on a successful learning event!
